Reading        Well done to last week's raffle prize winner - Harry and this week's winner is Daniel !!)

Reading is so important. Please aim to read with your child 5 times a week. This will help with both their phonics sounds and reading comprehension.

When your child has read at home, please record it in your child's reading record and bring this reading record to school everyday. 

Reading records are checked daily to monitor how many times a child has read at home, with an adult, and to be entered into the reading raffle where they have a chance to win a prize!

Maths ( this is not necessarily weekly)

I have set two new tasks on MyMaths. Follow the link to log in and complete the task.

Children should have  access to Numbots to support their arithmetic skills and practice. if not, please let me know. Follow the link and log in with your child's login details to play for 15 minutes.

NB- I have altered the settings on Numbots so the children should have the maximum time to answer the questions and therefore get more stars :)

Year 1  Common Exception Words

Common exception words in Year 1 are super important for early literacy development because they help children become confident, fluent readers. Here's why they matter:

🌟 Why They're Important

  • They break the phonics rules These words don’t follow regular phonetic patterns, so kids can’t just sound them out. Words like said, friend, or where need to be memorized by sight.

  • They appear all the time These words pop up frequently in books, instructions, and everyday writing. Knowing them helps children read more smoothly and understand texts better.

  • They build reading fluency When children recognize these tricky words instantly, they don’t get stuck while reading. That boosts their confidence and helps them focus on the meaning of the text.

  • They support spelling and writing Learning to spell these words correctly means children can use them in their own writing, which is key for expressing ideas clearly.

  • They lay the foundation for future learning Mastering Year 1 exception words makes it easier to tackle more complex vocabulary in Year 2 and beyond.
